These codes worked on the arcade cabinets, too. I’d always play with big head mode at the arcade. But to be fair, I had Internet access and knew about GameFaqs.

Old school cheat codes like this were so fun. If it weren’t such a licensing nightmare, it’d be fun if newer games had more easter eggs like this.

Stupid ads. They could have just said, “play as Raiden from Mortal Kombat!” But no, it specifically had to be from Mortal Kombat 4 to get kids to buy both games.

Anyone else remember playing as Bill Clinton in NBA Jam?
